Growing Tips:
- Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, and transplant seedlings outside when the weather has warmed up.
- Tomatoes prefer well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0 and plenty of sun.
- Be sure to provide support for the plants as they grow, such as cages or stakes, to keep the fruit off the ground and prevent diseases.
- Water the plants deeply and regularly, but be careful not to over-water, which can lead to fungal diseases.
- Use mulch to conserve moisture, reduce weeds, and stabilize soil temperature.
